Need some pics of your TR beadlocks on your G! And TR only has 5x135mm, so how did you adapt to your 5x130mm?

Just to close the loop on the wheels. Here are the specs - TR built them for the G!

HDP17-GW, 17x8.5 Trailready Heavy Duty Cast Aluminum Beadlocked Wheel. 5-130mm G-Wagon, Backspace 475"

Tire size is 315/70R17.

Guys, I like the classic lines and look for the G-Wagon but when you add a 50mm lift and larger tires the spare becomes a problem. It’s been 1 year on my G550 with a lot of Colorado intermediate 4x4 Trails under it. The Mercedes G-Wagen Spare Tire Flip Mount is solid, no signs of stress to the back door and it still utilizes the class of the stock look. I am very happy with this product and for guys like me who one day is in town at a fancy restaurant and the next day hanging off the side of a hill at 10,000 it’s perfect!

Over 5 years and 100,000 miles since I built our reverse tire mount. Never had any issue and the door is still as solid as it was when I bought the rig. We rotate in our spare every few months so the tire does come off/go on frequent-ish.

Would not adding a panel/piece to the inside to support the bolts relieve the stress on the door a bit. I did that to my pinz but I really do not know the construction of the G rear door.

I got this one from GMB-MOUNT.de and it works well so far.
